Lollipop Chainsaw, the beloved PS3 character action game, is making a comeback with the remastered RePOP edition for PS5, offering a chance to own a physical copy for the first time on Sony's latest console.
For those who missed out on grabbing a physical copy of the original game for the PS3, or for those who simply want a physical copy of the new version, Limited Run Games is now accepting pre-orders for the PS5 edition of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. Pre-orders will be open from 26th July to 25th August, allowing players to secure their own copy of this highly anticipated remake.
The limited-edition physical release offers two options:
Standard Edition: This includes the game on a Blu-ray disc.
Collector's Edition: This edition comes packed with a range of physical goodies, including a 10" Juliet Starling statue, a soundtrack CD, an artbook, a Nick Carlisle's Head Keychain, a San Romeo Knights High School Medal, and a Chop 2 Shop sticker.
It is important to note that these are made-to-order releases, meaning that once the pre-order period ends, the only way to get a physical copy will be to import it from Asia.
Beyond the PS5 release, exciting news has emerged about the potential for a PS4 port of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. Yoshimi Yasuda, CEO of developer Dragami Games, has confirmed that they have received numerous requests from fans asking for a PS4 release. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he stated that they are aiming to meet the demands of their players, promising an announcement once the schedule for a PS4 port is finalised.
This suggests that a PS4 version of the game may be in the works, although it's likely that development on the PS5 version will be completed first before moving to the PS4.
Whether you're a fan of the original game or looking for a new challenge on the PS5, this is a fantastic opportunity to experience the iconic zombie-slaying action of Lollipop Chainsaw once again. Head over to Limited Run Games and secure your copy of the PS5 version before pre-orders close!
